Author: Stephen Jay Gould

About the Author: Stephen Jay Gould was an American paleontologist, evolutionary biologist, and historian of science. He was one of the most influential and widely read authors of popular science of his generation. Gould spent most of his career teaching at Harvard University and working at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. In 1996, Gould was hired as the Vincent Astor Visiting Research Professor of Biology at New York University, after which he divided his time teaching between there and Harvard. Gould’s most significant contribution to evolutionary biology was the theory of punctuated equilibrium developed with Niles Eldredge in 1972. The theory proposes that most evolution is characterized by long periods of evolutionary stability, infrequently punctuated by swift periods of branching speciation. The theory was contrasted against phyletic gradualism, the popular idea that evolutionary change is marked by a pattern of smooth and continuous change in the fossil record. Most of Gould’s empirical research was based on the land snail genera Poecilozonites and Cerion. He also made important contributions to evolutionary developmental biology, receiving broad professional recognition for his book Ontogeny and Phylogeny.[5] In evolutionary theory he opposed strict selectionism, sociobiology as applied to humans, and evolutionary psychology. He campaigned against creationism and proposed that science and religion should be considered two distinct fields (or “non-overlapping magisteria”) whose authorities do not overlap. Gould was known by the general public mainly for his 300 popular essays in Natural History magazine, and his numerous books written for both the specialist and non-specialist. In April 2000, the US Library of Congress named him a “Living Legend”

Leonardo’s Mountain of Clams and the Diet of Worms: Essays on Natural History book pdf download By Stephen Jay Gould

Leonardo’s Mountain of Clams and the Diet of Worms is the newest collection of best-selling scientist Stephen Jay Gould’s popular essays from “Natural History” magazine (the longest-running series of scientific essays in history). It is also the first of the final three such collections, since Dr. Gould has announced that the series will end with the turn of the millennium. In this collection, Gould consciously and unconventionally formulates a humanistic natural history, a consideration of how humans have learned to study and understand nature, rather than a history of nature itself. With his customary brilliance, Gould examines the puzzles and paradoxes great and small that build nature’s and humanity’s diversity and order. In affecting short biographies, he depicts how scholars grapple with problems of science and philosophy as he illuminates the interaction of the outer world with the unique human ability to struggle to understand the whys and wherefores of existence. “From the Hardcover edition.”

The Lying Stones of Marrakech: Penultimate Reflections in Natural History book pdf download By Stephen Jay Gould

In his latest collection of essays, bestselling scientist Stephen Jay Gould once again offers his unmistakable perspective on natural history and the people who have tried to make sense of it. Gould is planning to bring down the curtain on his nearly thirty-year stint as a monthly essayist for “Natural History” magazine, the longest-running series of scientific essays in history. This, then, is the next-to-last essay collection from one of the most acclaimed and widely read scientists of our time. In this work of twenty-three essays, selected by “Booklist” as one of the top ten science and technology books of 2000, Gould covers topics as diverse as episodes in the birth of paleontology to lessons from Britain’s four greatest Victorian naturalists. The Lying Stones of Marrakech presents the richness and fascination of the various lives that have fueled the enterprise of science and opened our eyes to a world of unexpected wonders.

The Hedgehog, the Fox, and the Magister’s Pox: Mending the Gap between Science and the Humanities book pdf download By Stephen Jay Gould

In his final book and his first full-length original title since Full House in 1996, the eminent paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould offers a surprising and nuanced study of the complex relationship between our two great ways of knowing: science and the humanities, twin realms of knowledge that have been divided against each other for far too long. In building his case, Gould shows why the common assumption of an inescapable conflict between science and the humanities is false, mounts a spirited rebuttal to the ideas that his intellectual rival E. O. Wilson set forth in his book Consilience, and explains why the pursuit of knowledge must always operate upon the bedrock of nature’ s randomness. The Hedgehog, the Fox, and the Magister’s Pox is a controversial discourse, rich with facts and observations gathered by one of the most erudite minds of our time.

Le Pouce du Panda : Les grandes énigmes de l’évolution book pdf download By Stephen Jay Gould

Comment faire sérieux tout en s’amusant, ou l’art d’enseigner sans ennuyer : telle pourrait être la devise de Stephen Jay Gould. Ce brillant universitaire américain – il professe à Harvard –, paléontologue doué et scientifique de renommée internationale, donne dans Le Pouce du panda une formidable leçon d’écriture qui en remontre à bien des traités savants. Les mécanismes qui régissent l’évolution du vivant, le darwinisme, la sélection naturelle, la sociobiologie, le sexisme, le racisme, etc., théories et concepts généralement considérés comme d’un accès difficile pour les non-initiés, sont ici lumineusement exposés dans un langage familier et à travers une foule d’anecdotes, toutes plus édifiantes les unes que les autres. Magie du verbe qui, du coup, permet à chacun de pénétrer l’univers mystérieux et fascinant de l’histoire de la vie, d’entrer de plain-pied dans le vif des épineux débats que suscite la science contemporaine. Comme l’a écrit un critique, saluant la parution de l’édition française, « Le Pouce du panda est ce qui manquait à la littérature scientifique : une Comédie biologique en résumé – comme il y a une Comédie humaine ». Sur le gril donc, le devenir des espèces. Métamorphoses et mutations. Un scénario compliqué qui suppose une étonnante capacité inventive du vivant. Ainsi le cas du panda géant… L’animal est célèbre, surtout auprès des enfants : le genre nounours placide, à pelage blanc et noir, et bons gros yeux émouvants. Qui s’imaginerait, en le voyant, qu’il a probablement vécu il y a quelques millénaires un véritable drame ? Au départ de l’affaire, la nourriture. C’est qu’il raffole, l’animal, du cœur des tiges de bambou. Or, sans un organe conçu pour la préhension, c’est-à-dire une main dotée d’un pouce opposable aux autres doigts, il n’est pas facile d’éplucher un bambou pour en extraire le cœur. Et quand, en plus, le pouce dont on disposait à l’origine a été spécialisé dans d’autres tâches, la situation n’est pas loin d’être désespérée. Comment faire ? Rééduquer le pouce ? Abandonner le bambou succulent et se contenter de gâteries plus accessibles ? Absolument pas. La solution est infiniment plus « simple », et aussi infiniment plus extraordinaire. Elle tient en un mot : évolution. L’évolution qui va voler au secours du panda bambouphile et lui fabriquer, à partir d’un petit os du poignet, le sésamoïde radial, un nouveau « pouce ». Hypertrophié, celui-ci deviendra en effet un véritable sixième doigt doté de toutes les caractéristiques nécessaires à la préhension : mobilité, souplesse et opposition à l’ensemble des doigts.

La Mal-mesure de l’homme book pdf download By Stephen Jay Gould

Comment et pourquoi le déterminisme biologique a-t-il pu engendrer le racisme ? Pour les déterministes, en effet, le comportement des groupes humains et leurs différences sont innés. Il en ressort invariablement que les opprimés, les désavantagés sont inférieurs et méritent donc leur statut. Mettant en évidence les faiblesses scientifiques de ces arguments et présentant le contexte politique dans lequel ils ont été élaborés, Stephen Jay Gould repère les préjugés qui ont conduit les savants à des conclusions fausses. Non, la biologie et la théorie de l’évolution ne sauraient servir à justifier racisme, ségrégation, inégalité entre les hommes ! Un livre fondamental pour qui veut comprendre la nature du racisme.

La vie est belle : Les surprises de l’évolution book pdf download By Stephen Jay Gould

Il y a plus de 500 millions d’années, d’étranges créatures peuplaient les mers : Opabinia avec ses cinq yeux et sa trompe frontale, Anomalocaris, redoutable prédateur à mâchoire circulaire, Hallucigenia dont l’anatomie justifie amplement le nom. Cette faune, fossilisée dans le Schiste de Burgess, est si extraordinaire qu’il a fallu près d’un siècle pour en reconnaître l’originalité. C’est l’histoire de cette révolution scientifique que nous conte ici Stephen Jay Gould, comme une véritable enquête policière. Elle conduit à une profonde remise en cause de nos conceptions traditionnelles. Il nous faut désormais regarder l’évolution comme un ensemble d’événements à la fois parfaitement logiques et susceptibles d’être rigoureusement expliqués en rétrospective, mais absolument impossibles à prédire et non reproductibles. Le maître-mot de l’histoire, celle de la vie comme celle de l’homme, est donc bien celui de contingence. Comme dans le merveilleux film de Frank Capra avec James Stewart, “La vie est belle”, par son unicité et son imprévisibilité même.

Der Falsch Vermessene MenschDer Falsch Vermessene Mensch book pdf download By Stephen Jay Gould

When published in 1981, The Mismeasure of Man was immediately hailed as a masterwork, the ringing answer to those who would classify people, rank them according to their supposed genetic gifts & limits. Yet the idea of biology as destiny dies hard, as witness the attention devoted to The Bell Curve, whose arguments are here so effectively anticipated & thoroughly undermined. In this edition, Gould has written a substantial new introduction telling how and why he wrote the book & tracing the subsequent history of the controversy on innateness right thru The Bell Curve. Further, he’s added five essays on questions of The Bell Curve in particular & on race, racism & biological determinism in general. These additions strengthen the book’s claim to be, as Leo J. Kamin of Princeton Univ. has said, “a major contribution toward deflating pseudobiological ‘explanations’ of our present social woes.”

Foodborne Pathogens: Virulence Factors and Host Susceptibility book pdf download By Michael Patrick Doyle

Foodborne illnesses continue to be a major public health concern. All members of a particular bacterial genera (e.g., Salmonella, Campylobacter) or species (e.g., Listeria monocytogenes, Cronobacter sakazakii) are often treated by public health and regulatory agencies as being equally pathogenic; however, this is not necessarily true and is an overly conservative approach to ensuring the safety of foods. Even within species, virulence factors vary to the point that some isolates may be highly virulent, whereas others may rarely, if ever, cause disease in humans. Hence, many food safety scientists have concluded that a more appropriate characterization of bacterial isolates for public health purposes could be by virotyping, i.e., typing food-associated bacteria on the basis of their virulence factors. The book is divided into two sections. Section I, “Foodborne Pathogens and Virulence Factors,” hones in on specific virulence factors of foodborne pathogens and the role they play in regulatory requirements, recalls, and foodborne illness. The oft-held paradigm that all pathogenic strains are equally virulent is untrue. Thus, we will examine variability in virulence between strains such as Listeria, Salmonella, Campylobacter, Cronobacter, etc. This section also examines known factors capable of inducing greater virulence in foodborne pathogens. Section II, “Foodborne Pathogens, Host Susceptibility, and Infectious Dose” , covers the ability of a pathogen to invade a human host based on numerous extraneous factors relative to the host and the environment. Some of these factors include host age, immune status, genetic makeup, infectious dose, food composition and probiotics. Readers of this book will come away with a better understanding of foodborne bacterial pathogen virulence factors and pathogenicity, and host factors that predict the severity of disease in humans.
